Prince William Board of County Supervisors Chairman Corey Stewart won the Republican nomination to challenge Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., Tuesday night.

The contest highlighted regional and generational divides within the Republican primary electorate, as Stewart embraced President Trump, Virginia's Confederate heritage symbols, and a strong stance against illegal immigration.

Corey will fight; his opponent would have mostly yielded. That being so, it is VA, where they love all things Kaine!

The GOP establishment in Virginia will now work to kill Stewart, like they did with Cuccinelli and Ollie North.

Freitas would have had a slim chance at winning. Stewart likely will lose by a wide margin.

I bet he’s gonna do better than Jim Gilmore did in 2008 though.

Oscar Carlson would do better than Jim Gilmore did in 2008.
